Hello Martin,
Good news - this is covered by trac ticket #76 "More than one name in
Conventions attribute" (http://cf-trac.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/76).
This has been accepted and should be in 1.7 (if it wasn't already in
1.6?):
It is possible for a netCDF file to adhere to more than one set of
conventions, even when there is no inheritance relationship among
the conventions. In this case, the value of the Conventions
attribute may be a single text string containing a list of the
convention names separated by blank space (recommended) or commas
(if a convention name contains blanks). This is the Unidata
recommended syntax from NetCDF Users Guide, Appendix B. If the
string contains any commas, it is assumed to be a comma-separated
list.
For example:
:Conventions = "CF-1.6 ACDD-1.0" ;
All the best,
David
